Since user is providing this file and method already replacing our configuration in many ways, the original usage doesn't pose a security risk. This change provides protection against a broken config file rewriting files outside the temporary directory used for extraction and causing undefined system behavior.
This commit uses Samba's safe_tarfile wrapper to extract the file with note to replace once we have a python version from upstream debian that supports the newer tarfile feature.
